I was extremely pleased with the service and the results. Very little needed to be cleaned up after their visit and the work was done within 2 hours.
Description of Work: A fellow first came to give me an estimate within 2 weeks of my call and then the work was accomplished about 4 weeks later. The two men who did the work were very polite, clean and quick. I had 4 recessed lights installed in one room, 2 in another and a dimmer switch replaced in another room.

The woman who took my call was friendly and professional, and suggested I might want to buy replacement bulbs and light sockets before the technician came, to save time and money. On the day of the appointment, the technician called to say he was in the area and could come early, which was fine with me. He was friendly, worked quickly, and took the time to clean the light cover in the kitchen before replacing it.
Description of Work: He replaced two light sockets in the basement, checked and changed the bulbs in a fluorescent fixture in the kitchen, replaced an outside plug, and changed two high-up outside floodlights.

Fabulously! Two electricians (I was only expecting one) arrived right in the middle of the three hour block of time. (They even called about 20 minutes out to let me know they were on their way.) Both men were polite and professional; and clean too. When they had to cut into my ceiling in the dining room to shift the light about six inches to the right of where the previous one was, they took the time to sweep up a good chunk of the plaster debris on the floor. They got the the job done expeditiously (a bit over an hour), and the job actually cost me a bit less than I was anticipating based on the estimate I was given over the phone. I'd definitely call these guys back in the future.
Description of Work: I asked Becker to come to my condo to install a ceiling fan in the master bedroom, a new pendant light fixture, a light switch in the spare bedroom, and a new pendant lamp in the dining room.

Listing should have included that they would not do this work in the District of Columbia!
Description of Work: Although they were very polite in listening to the work needed to be done, they would not do any "panel" or fuse box work in DC! Said that it was a matter of permits. I think they would have installed a ceiling fan, but nothing more complex.

When I called to schedule the appointment, the woman was able to schedule it for just 2-3 days after I called, and answered my questions about their pricing. Marc was prompt;he called when he was on his way;he and his assistant completed the job within about 30 minutes. The installation looks great, and they left the area clean. The only minor issue was that in connecting the fan, they somehow deactivated two of the outlets in the room. We were able to have them come back about two days later to fix that problem. I'm very pleased overall with their work and would hire them again for electrical work.
Description of Work: Marc and an assistant installed a ceiling fan with lighting that required anchoring in concrete ceiling.

The appointment was scheduled for 12 to 3:30 pm, and at 12:30, Steve called to say he was on the way. He was very professional and efficient, and did an excellent job.
Description of Work: I needed an old kitchen light fixture removed and a new fixture installed. I called for an appointment, and the person answering the phone was very helpful with an estimate of the cost and possible length of job time.

They were fabulous. It took ''Sy'' and his help (Josh, I think) less than an hour. I thought it would be two or three. They are great guys and give great service.
Description of Work: They added an electrical box w/dimmer in the wall to convert ceiling light from pull-chain operation to switch operated. It takes very minimal ''incisions'' to accomplish this endoscopy-type operation, like micro-surgery.

This was a gift to my daughter. She said that the "estimator" was polite, knowledgeable and very nice. She was impressed. The estimate was given to me and I spoke with the office in order to pay for it. They, too, were very efficient and professional. The work was done in about 10 days and was done very well. My daughter was pleased.
Description of Work: Electrician gave free estimate for work to be done which was putting a line for a microwave above the stove in a 20 year old condo.

Two electricians showed up on time and did all the work, including clean-up, in 2 hours. They were totally polite and offered great solutions to issues that arose during the work. I had received a general quote for the work based on estimated time and it was right on.
Description of Work: I was having a wall removed, so I needed the electrical outlets and switches relocated. They relocated 2 switches to an adjacent wall, moved 1 outlet a couple feet, and tucked the phone jack (that I don't use) to a place where it could be accessed for later use if needed. They also removed other electrical items so that the wall could be safely removed.

Overall experience was excellent. Electrician showed up as scheduled, and did a fine, professional job. This was a simple job that a skilled home handyman undoubtedly could have done without prefessional help, but not having a great deal of confidence in my electrical skills, I preferred to call in a pro and get the job done right the first time.

This was not an emergency, so my appointment was scheduled about a week after my call. (The problem arose right after a period of very heavy rain, and had occurred before every so often.) The electrician quickly determined that the fault was moisture getting into the outside electrical outlet connected to the circuit. He replaced that outlet and made sure it was well sealed against moisture getting in. Also asked about fixing a knob that had fallen off a dimmer switch. He said that the small part I needed to make sure the knob stayed on was available at the hardware store -- much cheaper and easier than paying him to replace the whole switch.
Description of Work: Determined why a Ground Fault Interruption circuit kept failing.

I've always been very impressed with their service, workmanship, and professionalism. Their electricians are polite and go about their work in a very efficient and capable manner. With respect to pricing, they are reasonable. They aren't going to be the cheapest bid, perhaps, but you know that the work is going to be done right.
Description of Work: They have installed light fixtures and dimmers, repaired phone lines, done work at multiple locations for me and provided me with an extensive set of estimates for work that I'm planning.

It was an excellent experience. The initial contact was by an exactly-on-time gentleman who looked at what I wanted done. He mailed a proposal to me within 3 or 4 days. Two men came at the appointed time yesterday. They called about 15 minutes before they arrived. They were courteous, neat, and did an excellent job.
